No Transition Without Justice: Strengthening Environmental Rule of Law for People and Planet advances a broad understanding of just transition by demonstrating how environmental rule of law provides the legal and institutional foundation for fair, inclusive and environmentally sustainable transitions that leave no one behind.

Drawing on an extensive review of relevant literature and practice, together with 14 case studies from around the world, the report identifies five key trends illustrating how environmental rule of law is advancing just transition in practice. It also presents practical recommendations for States, the private sector and international financial institutions to strengthen legal and policy frameworks, institutions, financing mechanisms and implementation efforts.

Designed as a practical resource for policymakers, practitioners, researchers and other stakeholders, the report aims to support stronger environmental governance and accelerate progress towards sustainable development.
